I woulda lost my mind if the GOY either didn't go to God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2. Both stellar and memorable experiences in my opinion!! Congrats all who won!!

@Amusei

I have to agree with MOST of what u said earlier. I also loved dragon age origins and thought it was like the best and new IP at the time and it really made an excellent entry point. I also agree that DA 2 sort of was great in some ways and VASTLY different from what made Origins so great but I still admire the amount of attention and detail bioware clearly put into the games production (the dialogue had a staggering amount and broke new records for the most ever voice acted in a game at that time). And then came DA Inquisition. While it definitely strayed even further from the original idea than DA 2 did, it also had some so-so qualities that didn't feel too far fetched to be a part of the Dragon Age mythology. I mean yeah, I agree EA is the problem here, but I just couldn't make myself say DA Inquisition was a bad game necessarily, it was just my hopes and expectations were so high, that when it turned out like it did, myself and many other fans as well was devastated and in disbelief, but if you go back and play it again now, you will find plenty of things to keep u going for a while. But I believe that given all this time and between Bioware and EA both having done careful analysis and feedback from what fans wanted to see, I am in high hopes that they may get it right. May not be another DA Origins, but hey as long as it's not a Mass Effect Andromeda, I'll be pleased!!

My personal pick for GOTY is Yakuza Kiwami 2. I really enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2 and also thought the dev's did a great job with God Of War. But, there is no telling what the awards will actually go to.

spyro and hitman 2 are only games I'm even relatively interested in!

I have read both this review and I also checked out Gamespot's review. And I have to say, while the reviewers at Gamespot don't EVER give the LEGO games a chance, I am glad to see this sites review worthy of the game and appreciating the LEGO games as they should be. I guess the reviewers at Gamespot either A- don't have any kids to play with, B.- don't like kid's games or C.- are complete idiots. Kudos pushsquare!!

Yeah this is excellent news!! I assume alot of their decision to do this stems from the multiple survey's that SEGA has been conducting after their major titles release. For instance, I know I personally have mentioned how great better and quicker localization efforts would benefit us as fans in the last 2 Yakuza games released. And it appears that Sega is listening, so hats off to you guys at SEGA!!

Hey is anyone else having any trouble voting? I clicked on the link and it sends me to the page and then a pop-up screen appears saying I cannot vote and that its limited to Japanese users? I would appreciate any help with this issue?

Oh my God!! thank you!! I have been awaiting this ever since I first remember hearing the series mentioned as being similar to my favorite teen visual novel murder mystery. While the possibility of this upcoming visual novel series being greater than my personal choice, Danganronpa, less than zero, (that is less than 0% of a chance Ace Attorney>Danganronpa), the genre is always surprising and in need of some more classics. Ace Attorney is very welcome by me nonetheless.

@Cordeceps Yeah, clearly me and you are among the only who do. Before The Storm was nowhere near as good to me, with no powers, different Chloe voice actress, and hello, Life Is Strange set up this awesome world with believable characters in it. They laid the foundation for the series, and Before the Storm failed to live up in my opinion. Rushed and nowhere near as intense.

Wow, well said dude. I hate to say that I agree, Sony has been keeping its fanbase and the public in the shadows for too long now, and a general consensus of what to expect in the months to come and the plans for the VR department are all topics that should be addressed to its loyal fanbase.

Hell yeah!!

Yakuza Kiwami 2, Shenmue 1-2, Overcooked 2, Death's Gambit, & The Walking Dead The Final Season are all gonna be mine!!

I think the final top 10 list is both a true and satisfying result. While, personally, Aloy would not be quite as high on my own personal list, I think that for the most part, they are indeed great results. This was alot of fun and I look forward to a similar option to do something like this again. Thanks Push Square!!

Aloy

@Frigaku Thats funny you mentioned that cuz I also had a NES, then later went to SNES and I had a buddy who had a N64. I had to choose between a PSX or N64 and thank God I made the choice to go PSX and ever since I have owned nothing but Sony consoles!!

Knock out some of my games in my backlog!! Plenty of em so I should stay busy regardless of the drought of new games coming in July!!

Oh this was by far the hardest one yet for me cuz I love both of these guys. But Geralt is not a PS longtime icon and Snake most certainly is so its gotta be Snake.

So Sorry Ellie!! Drake, you got my vote!!!

I am in total shock!! Kat is winning by a mile over Kratos?? Not what I was expecting at all!!

NO WAY!!! Aloy cannot ever in any way or form be better than Cloud. I am gonna lose it if she pulls an upset over this tournament.

YES!!
So happy to see both of my votes are winning. Solid Snake & Geralt!! Although, if it were Snake V.S Geralt, that would be all too hard a decision to make. Prolly Snake!

Perhaps the hardest week for me yet....

Sephiroth V.S Nathan Drake- I will forever hold FF7 as my top 3 games ever but I had to go with Drake, you can't beat the charm and charisma.

Ellie V.S Crash- Easy actually, I grew up playing Crash but never was a die hard fan but I was and am still a diehard fan of the last of us so Ellie for me.

Man..... its getting tougher and tougher by the week.

2b is the slightly better character to me than Kat. (Plus Kat beat Jill Valentine and for that I will never forgive)

Joel is an obvious win for me but with the newly released God of War, the Kratos train is unstoppable

RE2 Remake
Onimusha Reboot

@ApostateMage
Much agreed.

I had to vote for Cloud over Aloy. Partly because I still have yet to finish the game, (Horizon: Zero Dawn that is) because its kinda dull & boring.
Cloud is my 2nd vote cuz remind me, who is Delsin again? Ha easy choice with Cloud.

Man, i absolutely love this idea and the fact that you guys are actually being consistent and loyal to it. This week was another tough one for me.....
1. Solid Snake is an easy and quick pick over Corvo.
2. I chose Yennefer over Sonic (although I still love Sonic)
3. Sackboy cuz I hate GTA5 & Trevor is nobody special.
4. Geralt of Rivia was my pick and this was the hardest one for me cuz I loved and still love Spyro. he reminds me of great nostalgic memories but Geralt's journey in W3 won me over for many many reasons I wont list here. Geralt is forever a legendary bad ass in my eyes.

@Flaming_Kaiser
Will do. I have heard tons about the game, just never did get a chance to play it. However, even after I found out more about her, there's a 1% chance of her being being better than Sephiroth in my eyes. But I appreciate the comment tho.

Ahhhh!!!

Eventually, this list was DESTINED to get tough!!! Its still not at the most heated and difficult lineups but we are getting hotter by the week!!!

Leon S. Kennedy always beats Nathan Drake in my eyes... (guess i was the only one)

Sephiroth battle was easy. Who was Nariko btw?lol

Another easy win for Ellie V.s Neo Cortex. Seriously, i dunno how that guy even made it this far in the contest!!

And Crash Bandicoot V.s Dante (and all his badassery)

Ugh, I was a little torn, as the kid in me wanted to vote for my cherished childhood gaming pal Crash, but seriously Dante is a better and stronger character on all levels. If everyone thought outside their nostalgia box, they would realize this!!! Great week!!

I sincerely hope this does not affect the future of Danganronpa being published for Playstation consoles. I love that series!!

Nice variety this week.
Trevor Phillips easily wins his bout.
Sackboy stomps Wander.
As much as I love Final Fantasy, Squall isn't nearly as likeable as Geralt and The Witcher 3 was so much of a better game so Geralt wins that.
Spyro burns Kazuma Kiryu (although I do love Kiryu and Yakuza series).

Wow, these were some tough ones for me..
Def Solid Snake over Pac Man
Corvo Attano>Nathan Hale
I love Danganronpa but Yennefer is too pretty not to vote for
And although Sonic has only been on PS since 2003, he has been in embedded in my memory since the 80's and early 90's so he bests Allucard. Great match this week tho!!

Ellie
Neo Cortex
Crash
Dante

Wow, great article and I have always thought that Sony doesn't "sell" their PS4 on advertisements nearly as well as Nintendo & Microsoft. Which sucks, cuz being American, all you hear on the stations anymore is Xbox this & Microsoft that. Sony needs to let its general core base fans know what their focus or goals are. And ANY news on a possible PS5 release!!

Nathan Drake
Leon Kennedy
Sephiroth
Nariko

Sub Zero would freeze Aloy and perform his ice bed fatality!! Na seriously, I HAD to vote for Sub Zero, not only is he easily my favorite Mortal Kombat character, but Ive played as him since MK II released on SNES when I was a little kid!! Those were the days!!!

@RedMageLanakyn ha ha right?!!!

Ah come on, I feel like Varric Tethras from Dragon Age series shoulda got more love!!!

So, does anyone know if this will REQUIRE a PSVR headset to play or will it support normal console like Until Dawn?

@Th3solution

Yes I highly recommend it. Its a unique experience for sure, but one with an engrossing story & vivid attention to detail. One of the best games from that now non-existent studio.
